Dear Dad;
I hate you. I wish I could say it to your face but I can't. I wish I could just give you a piece of my mind like I so desperately want to. I wish I could tell you excactly what I think of you.
You are a selfish and very ungrateful jerk. You spend hundreds buying yourself nice things while you get worthless, cheap things for the rest of your family. You complain about all the trips that Mom has made, even though you know she needed to be there to take care of Grandpa in his last few months and that she needed to be there for her son's- my brother's- very important graduation. And yet you just tell her that you slave away and she does absolutely nothing for you. She takes care of your house. She feeds you. She puts up with your crap day in and day out. She doesn't complain nearly as much as you do and she cares more about her family than you ever have and ever will. She is willing to listen patiently to her daughter's problems while you can only make hypocritical remarks about how much time I spend on my tablets. And she has more common sense than you ever possibly could.
You were insane before but now you have become even more so. You barely have enough sense to stay out of the way of an oncoming train. And here you are, messing up my day by downgrading me phone wise with this stupid phone and utterly worthless plan that I will now have to endure for a month. This is your birthday present to me? All I want is my old phone back. At least it had a camera and didn't have this ungodly thing you call a plan. This was your worst idea yet. And then you have the nerve to come to me for sympathy because you are 'such a failiure.' Well I have no interest in sympathizing with stupid, senseless males who spend their time wasting their money, arguing with my mother for the most pathetic reasons, and tyring to get on my good side after telling me that I can get a job and pay for my own stupid phone. I also refuse to have pity on stupid males who will not listen to reason or do the proper research before buying their daughter's birthday present. It sucks for you that it's your money you wasted. Now Mom and I get to clean up your mess, just like always.
And you say everyone else is stupid. Haven't you ever looked in the dictionary? Or at least a mirror? Definition is gonna be staring you right in the face, genius.
Well I've had enough of you. You come home from work and find some pathetic little excuse to argue with Mom over. You try to land me in trouble every time I go anywhere near my tablets, my Wii, and especially my phone. And you are constatly making fun of Matt, even though he is trying very hard to fit in here. You are the most worthless, stupid, selfish, ungrateful being I have ever known, and I would not wish you on my worst enemy. My only regret is that I have to be related to you. As if I'm not already cursed enough. I am more ashamed of you than I can put into words.
Thank God I have the most wonderful best friend anyone could ever, ever wish for. He has done more for me in less than a year than you have in all my life. Last year while I fell apart and suffered pain and loneliness you did nothing, you did not even acknowledge me. He stepped into my life and has been helping my broken self along the path of my life. I don't know what I would ever do without him. He has been there for me since day one, and you have never even tried. I would have gone completely insane by now if it weren't for him.
I am just so glad that I will be far, far away from you for nearly a week. Instead I will be enjoying myself with my best friend as we celebrate my birthday- which is another thing, he has put more effort into making the days surrounding my birthday wonderful, whereas you have never done anything involving the day.
Oh, this weekend will not be overwith soon enough...
Without love,
Your daughter
Dear Riley;
How can I ever thank you? Already you have made this the best birthday I have ever had, and the official day has not even come yet. No one has ever surprised me with a birthday celebration, as I have always had to plan everything myself. But you did, and it has been a very special thing that I will always remember.
I love the game and you know it, but I can't even begin to tell you how much your card means to me. I have read it a hundred times tying to understand how you can give me something that says all of that and believe the words describe me. I don't see myself as that person...but I want to try and see myself the way you do. It means a lot to me, because no one has ever given me something with such meaning. Any other cards I have received have all basically said the same meaningless thing about what a special person I am, and it has gotten too normal to mean anything to me at all. But yours was different. It really means something.
As the words read...It's no wonder I love having you for a friend. A best friend. Without you I would still be that lost and very alone girl you met at the start of the last schoolyear. Because of you, today I can be the girl with hope and the greatest friend in the world.
Thank you. So much. For absolutely everything.
A friend's love,
Your best friend
